Analysis – In our first launch, our parachute did not deploy fully. This was due to the fact that our strings were slightly tangled. This did not seem to be a major problem for our rocket, because it landed quite gracefully and very close to our starting position. Comparing this to our second trial, it did come down quite a bit faster, but there was a difference in the engines used, therefore the second trial, the rocket could have gone higher, making it longer to come down.
